5 stars!
We’ve had the pleasure of dining at Nourishmoi twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. Our first visit was at the end of March to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The plant-based dishes were delicious, the cocktails were creative and refreshing, and the owners, John and Rita, were incredibly warm and attentive. They even surprised my wife with a special birthday dessert, which made the evening feel extra memorable.
We returned recently with a group to celebrate another birthday, and once again, the food and service exceeded expectations. We tried the Beirut Bowl, Thai Peanut Bowl, Black bean tortilla soup, the 3 Amigos, Grilled Cheeze, and the Pineapple Caipirinha - everything was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared.
A special shoutout to the team for accommodating a guest in our group with celiac disease. She was thrilled with the number of gluten-free options, and the kitchen took great care to ensure her meal was completely safe.
Nourishmoi continues to impress with its food, hospitality, and commitment to its guests. We’ll definitely be back soon to check out the brunch. Highly recommend!
I’ve been going here for years (since it opened) and I just love this place. Recently, I ordered a pre-prepared dessert platter to bring to a dinner where multiple people had food intolerances (dairy, gluten, yeast). I spoke with one of the owners and planned/costed it out. It was PERFECT and thoughtfully planned and prepared. My family aren’t all vegans but we really love the quality, wholesomeness, flavour, and care RA puts into their food. This is a real gem in our community, and I will be a customer for life.
I really appreciate an Italian restaurant that can so easily accommodate gluten & dairy free.
I had a hankering for pasta and their "modified" smoked duck caprese/carbonara was just perfect.
Cozy vibes & the wait staff was lovely!!
Very pleasant atmosphere to dine. Vibrant and lively in the summer ☀️. There is nothing like being by the water. The waiter was so friendly and patient with us . The mussels are really good. The Calamari was really fresh but being gluten sensitive I did not have much.
The shrimp dish was good and the trout was good as well.
Go ahead and try the frozen Marguerite it's good the only thing missing is to get some corona beer in it.
Went on a warm Monday night and got a seat on the patio right away. I have Celiac disease and am always nervous to eat at new restaurants. By chance, our server Kara is also a Celiac, which literally made my night 100% better! She walked me through the whole menu and assured me she would follow up with the kitchen to make sure Celiac protocols were followed. My husband and I each had 2 tacos and a margarita, all delicious! Mine were on gluten free corn tortillas and I felt like I could actually relax and eat my food without worry, which is super rare when I’m always concerned about cross contamination when eating at a non-gluten free restaurant. Thank you Kara for taking the time for a fellow Celiac, even though you also had a massive 20 person party to also serve!
Lovely neighborhood cafe, love the flat white. Also have several options for steep teas’ which my wife enjoys. Several gluten free baked goods available and everyone is always very friendly.
Our group of 27 had a wonderful time at the Crooked Cue on Saturday. I have dined there before but didn't know about the many menu options available for parties. The "Canadian Buffet" was excellent. There were choices for everyone - meat lovers, gluten sensitive, and vegetarians included. John made planning the event very easy and the staff that evening did a great job - thank you Taya, Akash, Constanza, and Chef Kevin!
Really fun spot for a nice dinner out. The decor is cool and the windows look out over the marina in the credit river. We had the mushroom risotto and the goat cheese gnocchi, cheesecake and creme brule, and all were delicious. With wine and a shared appetizer and coffee, it came out to about $100/person. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and the overall vibe was great. Lots of vegetarian options and several items had gluten free alternatives (though we didn't try those so i can't speak for them).
Almost everytime I call asking for gluten free cookies they are sold out (called 5 different times and only once did they have them) Whether it's first thing when they open, mid day, or the evening. It's sold out. I was told they were selling a smaller portion of rolo cake that was gluten free. I asked the price and they said $5. The regular slice which is really large and too big imo is $12 so I happily got the small portion. When they brought it out to me it was in a tiny mason jar container! It wasn't even filled up all the way. The portion was close to 1/4 of the size of the regular cake slice and $5! Very disappointing. Adding a photo to show the size of the container.
Five star Quality, Quantity and Service
This place is so good I ate most of the meal with my eyes closed as I entered a different ethereal plane of existence, that in order to get there, I had to consume inhuman amount of seafood ravioli.
Only part of this is an exaggeration. I've now eaten here twice and each time I have been utterly blown away by the experience. Tony (owner, operator and head chef) provides an experience at Sorrano's you just simply can't get at any other restaurant. Firstly, when you make a reservation he greets you by name, not "7 o'clock".
Second, when I called ahead to ask about gluten free options for my girlfriend who's celiac, he informed me that he's recently taken major steps to add gluten free/dairy free options to the menu. Tony makes a point to come over to the table to see first hand how you're enjoying the food.... and let me tell you, you're going to enjoy the food. When I say the portions are huge, I mean they're utterly preposterous. An entree at this restaurant could easily feed 3 adults.... you don't believe me? When we got home we weighted the take out container that had my girlfriends gluten free bolognese in it: it weighted 3.2lbs!
Now you're probably thinking "well I bet you paid out of the nose for this" - the answer is no! This restaurant, for all of its clear and distinct advantages, costs no more than any other place on Lakeshore in Port Credit. Name another restaurant in the area where the head chef comes to your table, where the food is so good your very existence is transported from dimension to another, and where you're left so full you can't get up from the table and you need to cart off 3.2lbs of food to take home?
Have you ever eaten at a chain restaurant and somewhere in the menu, some corporate big wig had to audacity to write "made from scratch" or "our homemade blah blah blah"? I've worked in big restaurant chains.... they're lying. My guy Tony? Yeah he made the spicy red pepper sauce from scratch, just like everything else... oh and the peppers? Yeah they're grown in his backyard.
Now I can't be sure if I'm in a sound state of mind writing this review because I can't tell if I've come down from the high of Sorrano's food, in fact, I know I haven't because we had the bolognese for lunch. But I can say, that if you're not eating at this restaurant you're doing yourself a horrible disservice.
If you've made it to the end of this review, I thank you - but more importantly - you should be calmly getting out of your chair, grabbing your coat and your keys, cancelling any appointments you may have, and messaging the group chat to meet you at Sorrano's. Your welcome.
Craving authentic flavourful Indian food with a great view? Indian Cuisine by the Lake is the place to be ✨
Located in the heart of Port Credit overlooking the lake, this restaurant serves delicious, mouth watering Indian food. The best part is that they cater to everyone’s needs. Whether you are gluten-free or vegan, they make accommodations to your diet. For example, they use coconut milk instead of cream. They also use tofu instead of paneer. They make everything fresh and customized to your dietary needs. Everything is made at the restaurant and you can see your food being prepared right in front of you with their open kitchen concept!
We tried the following dishes:
Veggie mixed grill
2 Garlic naan
Peshwari naan
Navaratan korma
Special lababdar mushroom and tofu
Chana masala in madras curry sauce
Gulab Jamun
Kulfi
We absolutely recommend trying peshwari naan, special lababdar tofu/mushroom curry and navratan korma. We loved the hospitality by Raj and Danny!
We recently celebrated our legal wedding ceremony with a dinner at the Shore Grill and Grotto with a group of 13 and our pup. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience. Maureen and her team were able to set up a beautiful table and help set up a menu for our guests. Our seafood appetizers featuring calamari, mussels and coconut shrimp were delicious. Every one of our guests tried a different entree and everyone enjoyed their meal. Some fan favourites included the seafood linguine, penne gorgonzola and the chicken marsala. Some of our guests were vegetarian and gluten free, so it was also very nice that they had options. There even was a pup menu! The night was made especially special as there was a live band playing. It was just such a great meal and perfect setting. We definitely recommend this wonderful establishment for any celebration or just a nice (not too pricey) meal and a cold beer on the patio with your fur family. This place will always be one of our go-to Port credit spots and now hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you again to the Shore Grill and Grotto for hosting a memorable evening dinner for us!
We came here on our way home from visiting Toronto because my gf has celiacs. They were very accommodating. Carter in particular was very patient and made sure they followed safety for her allergy which we appreciated very much. Would come back again.
Usually I LOVE burrito boys, the Stavebank location is amazing. Unfortunately today was different, I ordered a gluten free burrito and a shrimp burrito. (P.s. shrimp burritos are amazing, would definitely buy more if you had the buy one get one free deal) Gluten free bread fell apart after the first bite, and the whole burrito was ruined, it leaked sauces everywhere. The shrimp was great, but the burrito leaked and was unusually wet and damp. It was not an enjoyable experience. Hopefully burrito boys can learn from this experience :)
Celiac friendly
